LCC's athletic dept. set into motion a chain of events which could have cost ISU millions of dollars. They should not be rewarded for that. I am an ISU alumnus and I would prefer that ISU end any and all association with LCC athletics.

I'm guessing LCC is the EIU equivalent for Nebraska now?

This game benefits the ISU program just as much as it possibly benefits Nebraska, maybe more. It would be stupid to put a grudge with the Husker AD and administration above something of value to one of our programs.

Could have cost us millions of dollars but in the end likely gained us millions of dollars.

Nebraska was the school that let their "prestige" get in the way of common sense and hold the Big XII back. Good riddance to the program but glad we are keeping the volleyball series going for the recruiting ties.

So a "university" that gets kicked out of the AAU is more than a glorified football centric community college? News to me.

We have to play volleyball in Lincoln to recruit the state of Nebraska?

It must be a lot different than football because we recruit kids from CA and FL w/o playing there.

Re: ISU and Nebraska volleyball lives on

The OP isn't about LCC academics and I didn't make it about academics. I have a low opinion of their AD and I don't see a compelling reason to associate with them. At all.

I just wanted to know what "LCC" was because I hadn't seen it used before. You're explanation made it seem like you thought it was something more than an embarassing story for the university.

Do we need the Nebraska game for volleyball to survive? Probably not. That absolutely does not mean that it makes a lick of sense to ignore all the benefits in terms of money, exposure, recruiting, etc. we get from the game in favor of a stupid grudge against them.
